Does My Dentist Care About My Diet?

When people in the Charlotte area think of diet and oral health, they ordinarily think about the damage sweet drinks can cause to teeth. While it’s true that these harmful sugars cause increased acidity in the mouth and lead to tooth decay, soda, and sugary fruit drinks are only part of the issue. At Inspira Dental Care, our team can ensure your diet isn’t impacting your dental health.

The typical American diet tends to be high in calories and low in nutrition, even here in Mocksville and Lewisville.

If your body is lacking in critical nutrients, the tissues in the mouth may have trouble resisting infection. These dangerous infections can lead to gum disease.

A few years ago, the U.S. Department of Agriculture unveiled the MyPlate graphic to illustrate a healthy diet. Half of our meals should be composed of fruits and vegetables and the rest should be equally divided between lean protein, whole grains, and low-fat dairy.

When you eat a balanced diet and feel your best, you’ll want to look your best, so be sure to ask our comfortable staff about advanced cosmetic dentistry procedures such as smile transformations and same-day restorations.

At Inspira Dental Care, our menu of services includes crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, dental implants, tooth-colored fillings, sealants, teeth whitening, and clear braces.
